Default Re: Blue Smoke

Hey, you live just a little bit north of me...we should meet up one day.

I think you should just take the car to Corey Henderson in New Braunsfels TX and let him diagnose it before you just start throwing money at it.

There is also that guy in Conroe that built the Bonneville ZR-1 that went 220 on the salt flats. Corey built his motor, but maybe he would have an idea.

I personally am no engine specialist, but the blue smoke would bother me too.

In fact my 2004 Nissan Titan does it during start up, but only after I crank it up and then shut it right back off. I might do that when repositioning it in the driveway to get the Z out. Some of the Titan guys says they do that because all the oil gets pushed up into the motor, and then while it is shutoff it drains somewhere it shouldn't, and has something to do with the thickness of the oil right then.

The Titan is also a DOHC V8.
